TORRIJAS WITH YOSOY OAT + SOY
Torrijas, the Spanish-style French toast, are one of the most typical Easter desserts and a basic recipe that you can never go wrong with when you have guests. Making homemade torrijas doesn’t have much of a secret, all you need is stale bread, cinnamon, and milk, except that we replace it with Yosoy It’s not milk, to make the most delicious vegan torrijas.
The good thing about torrijas is that you can adapt them to the different preferences and diets. This vegan torrijas recipe will surprise you with how easy it is and how good they are thanks to the banana, lemon and our oats and soy drink Yosoy It’s not milk.
Prepare vegan, gluten-free and egg-free torrijas with all the benefits of Yosoy’s plant-based drinks. A homemade version that is ideal for those with food intolerances or allergies, and that everyone will absolutely love. Serve and enjoy them!

To make the recipe for vegan torrijas, the Spanish version of French toast, just follow these easy instructions. We recommend using bread from the day before or a special bread for torrijas to make them super fluffy. You can serve them at room temperature or cold – they’ll be even better tomorrow!
1. Cut the loaf of bread into thick slices.

3. Just as it comes to the boil, turn off the heat and leave to cool.
4. Remove the cinnamon and lemon from the drink and soak the slices of bread for a few seconds.
5. Set aside on a plate.
6. In a bowl, beat the banana with two tablespoons of lemon juice, add 50 ml of oat drink and a teaspoon of cinnamon powder and mix well.
7. Place a non-stick frying pan with a little oil on a low heat.
